Stock price when the opinion was issued
Some high-end names like Louis Vuitton have not been doing well. But TPR has been performing decently. Above 200-day MA, which is moving higher. Mid-high luxury, and that part of the market is doing better. Could be that the ultra-rich are "downshifting" into names owned by this brand.
15.5x forward PE, slightly above 10-year historical norms for this name. 9-10% growth. So valuation is decent. Investors should be cautious about impact of a downturn in the economy on this type of name.
Last year, the FTC blocked the Tapestry-Capri merger to include Kate Space, Versace and Jimmy Choo brands among others. Since then, TPR has soared 148%; announced and accelerated a share buyback; delivered top and bottom line beats and raised forecast for three straight quarters. Drivin this is improving sales in the Coach brand which is stealing market brand. Buy on a pullback or a small position now.
